[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimsim:
After the initial jubilation of finally getting Gingerbread on my stock Nexus one, I have come to the conclusion that its a little half baked and setting aside all the little annoyances, the current battery life bug that seems to be affecting some people (myself included) is just terrible.

So my question is, how to I get back to stock 2.2 (or 2.2.2) now that I have 2.3.3 installed.

I don't want to root, or open the boot loader or do anything to invalidate the warranty. Is there a way ?

Thanks, and sorry if this has already been covered somewhere else (could not find it)

Worked for lots of people, don't know if it works for 2.3, it worked for 2.2.

So.. ya might just wanna keep an open mind.

Anyway, some of the links on the page are dead, you might need to dig around for what you need.

I tried this also (just to see for myself, instead of listening to the rumors), and can confirm it works.

The only comment I would make is that the filename is NOT case sensitive (I got it to work as PASSIMG.zip, passimg.zip, and also combinations like PassImG.zip)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Passimg method is working? Nice find! I imagine this will be of great help to many people.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimsim:
Thanks for all the suggestions and help, I will give it a go.

In terms of the most recent version that I can go back to, I assume it has to be a manufacturer shipment ROM or full system image.

The latest release on shipped roms is FRG33 http shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Passion%20(Nexus%20One

I found on the HTC developers site (http developer.htc.com/) FRG83 but the link seems to be broken http dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip

Assuming I can find a copy of FRG83 system image, am I correct in assuming I can also rename this to passimg.zip and downgrade or does it have to be the FRG33 manufacture shipped rom?

ps, sorry i cant post url links hence the http
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
If it's a shipped image, then yes.

If you look in the zip, and see a bunch of image files, instead of a folder structure, then it will probably work...

Let me know if you find FRG83.

I know someone who would LOVE to find it!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enry_86:
Hi,

I know this question may sound stupid but I have this doubt and I would like to understand better one thing:

Can someone please explain me why it's not possible to restore 2.2 from 2.3.3 using directly a nandroid restore skipping the PASSIMG.zip part?

I'm new to this and I'm still learning some things, but if the nandroid is a backup of the entire system, why can't I just wipe out everything and restore from that file?

Thank you so much for your help! :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you have nandroid - great.

If you flashed stock image - you don't have it anymore, because stock image overwrites your custom recovery, and without unlocked bootloader or option to root, there is no way to restore it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enry_86:
Thank you so much for the reply :)

So, just to be sure: since my bootloader is unlocked this means that if I wipe everything, then I can flash a custom recovery and then restore from a nandroid backup without having to flash first another stock ROM and root again, right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
That is correct.

However, keep in mind that rebooting your phone when you soil have the stock ROM will cause the stock recovery to be restored, so as soon as you install your custom recovery, you need to boot into recovery without rebooting the phone...

[HTC Inspire 4G] brandenk0:
Hello everybody, just received my Inspire earlier today and coming from a Vibrant I'm slightly lost in all this gold card set-up. I made my largest sd-card into a gold card without realizing and would like to make my small 2gb sd-card into one. How would you get rid of the gold card and make it into a regular sd-card?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ioft:
You can still use the gold card as a regular sd card I believe...
[HTC Inspire 4G] brandenk0:
Oh ok thanks. Had originally wanted to just have a gold card for everything that I would need out for and just have my regular sd-card for everything else.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I use my gold card as an an sd card, but after you root and s off you can take a the gold card out and use a regular sd card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alwayslearning:
you won't hurt your phone just keeping it, you will not notice any difference. you can always make your 2g card into another goldcard the same way you made your first one.

Ok thanks for all the replies.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] niccopotomous:
Ok, so I have a samsung vibrant and loved the phone, upgraded me and my wife to the new 4G and noticed the camera quality is horrid. Its like night and day, in good light or bad light the 4G takes horrible pictures compaired to the vibrant. Compare the two side by side and you will see. Im so mad. Anyone else have this issue? Oh and dont get me started on the ffc quality. useless. My wifes same resolution MT4G ffc was awesome compaired to this crap.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AEguyNYC5:
My cameras work fine on both the Vibrant & the 4G. Yours might be defective? :confused: I will play with them again tomorrow now that you mentioned this, just out of curiosity. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pegate369:
I agree, I dont like the camera quality of the front face compared to the mt4g at all, also you can't switch to front face in yahoo video chat, oovoo, or camcorder mode unless using qik, the mt4g had no problem switching to front face at all
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] korbon:
as far as the rear camera quality, i found that my vibrant 4g came set on a very low resolution from the factory, check the settings in the camera and make sure its set to 5mp.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] urmothersluvr:
My camara quality is great!! My bro has the regular vibrant and its just as gd. My ffc pictures are great 2 if the lighting is gd but if its dark the picture sucks but that's cuz it lightens it up. You must have bad phone

So when I try to flash the dead horse kernel or any ROM using the dead horse kernel it soft bricks me (stuck on vibrant screen) This is coming from a fresh ODIN to stock so there shouldn't be any other lagfix compatibility issues. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so what is the solution?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iwillkillyou:
Now flash a I9000 rom, then after it boots(will get a loop), enter recovery and flash a stock kernel, voodoo works.
[Atrix 4G General] airbillion:
Could anyone please check and see if they have the adbd service in /sbin/adbd, using root explorer. I don't have it and am wondering if that is why my device is seen as offline.

Edit:

How to:

I don't know how or why this is happening yet, but if your Atrix is seen as offline by ADB for some reason like mine was, just copy this adbd file using root explorer to the /sbin directory and change the permissions to match the other files in the /sbin directory (rwxr-xr-x). (Extract the file from the zip first)

There is still one issue for me though. After a reboot the file disappears and I have to move another copy to the /sbin directory to get ADB working again. It seems as though the file is removed on shutdown, so I have not been able able to get the Early USB Enumeration working yet. Hopefully a solution will be found for this soon.
[Atrix 4G General] clubtech:
It is present on my phone.

Do you need me to upload it for you?
[Atrix 4G General] airbillion:
Yes please! That might fix my problem! For some reason I dont have it and I think that is why my phone is seen by my computer but is always offline. Hopefully this will work!
[Atrix 4G General] airbillion:
Anyone that has the adbd service in /sbin/adbd, could you please upload it here for me. I would really appreciate it!
[Atrix 4G General] clubtech:
here you go.

unzip and that's it. the file has no extension.

Let me know if this solved the ADB problem
[Atrix 4G General] airbillion:
Thanks a lot, I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully it works.
[Atrix 4G General] airbillion:
Holy crap, it worked!!! My device is not offline any more and adb is working!! For four days now I have been trying to figure this out. Thank you for the file!!

One weird thing though, after a reboot the file is gone and I have to copy it over to /sbin again to get it working. Now I need to figure out why it gets removed on a reboot. Anyone have any ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] designgears:
It gets removed because the ramdisk extracts it to that directory on boot
[Atrix 4G General] airbillion:
Is there a way to keep it in /sbin permanently? I think this is why early usb enumeration does not work for me.

Can I install your deodexed rom? I am nervous because I cant get the early usb enumeration working when the adbd file gets removed on reboot. Does the deodexed rom do anything requiring adb on the shutdown or reboot? Would I be ok without the adbd service until I reboot and replace the file?
[Atrix 4G General] clubtech:
on my phone, it is always in /sbin (before and after reboot).

The fact that on your phone it is getting deleted is strange.

Do you see other files under /sbin?
[Atrix 4G General] airbillion:
Yes a bunch: acpi_available, alsactl, apm_available, badblocks, blkid, blockdev.....vol_id. There are about 40 files, but the adbd seems to disappear after a reboot and my early usb enumeration does not work. I think it is because it adbd gets removed on a reboot. Is there a way to keep it in there after a reboot that you know of or to get usb early enumeration working?
[Atrix 4G General] NguyenHuu:
not sure about a fix but as a work around, in theory you can try to create a script that runs on boot that always pushes the adbd file back into the /sbin folder. you can use a combination of programs like gscript to create the script and then a program like tasker to executive the script on boot or some other type of autostart program.
[Atrix 4G General] airbillion:
Thanks, i will look into this.
[Atrix 4G General] iamtheloser05:
What about adding it in then changing permissions on it to disable the system from deleting it?
[Atrix 4G General] shawnbuck:
Changing your adbd permissions back to stock may help, as the file in the .zip won't have the proper permissions. Do this:

chmod 0750 /sbin/adbd

The one in the zip will be 0777, which gives everyone read and write access, which isn't set normally.

Atrix Rooted Deodexed ADB Offine Issue

When I received my Atrix I used the program superoneclick to root the atrix and then Fully Deodexed, i enabled the sideloading of apps with the same program.

I then went to my external sd card where I had saved the apk's for titanium backup and adfree and installed them without any issues.Over the next few days I used my phone without any problems at all.I had some apk's on my computer that i wanted to push to my atrix so i tried to connect via adb and my phone was seen as offline no matter what computer, usb port or cable I used.I then thought that a hard reset might solve the issue so I went to the recovery menu and performed a system restore.This did not fix the problem.For days I tried to figure out how to fix it, until I realized that the adbd service in /sbins was missing so i got a copy and placed it in /sbins and adb worked again. However, after a reboot the adbd file is removed from /sbin and to get adb working again I have to place my copy of the adbd service back into the folder.The problem now though is that early usb enumeration in the recovery does not enable adb, the phone just boots normally after about 5 seconds.Thank you for your help and interest in my problem.Mroadster
[Atrix 4G General] done12many2:
I really wish I could tell you how I did it, but I was going through this very same issue with loss of ADB after doing the SuperOneClick with a subsequent reset. After resetting the device I was not able to obtain ADB.

I got to a point where I decided I was going to just get rid of root and try to remove Superuser however every time I ran the script to remove it, it was still there. The script was running but no connection to ADB resulted in no execution.

I reset the device a couple more times and uninstalled all Motorola drivers from my computer. When I went through the initial setup and driver install again, it installed all the drivers like normal including the ADB communication. I confirmed ADB via "adb devices" and I everything seemed good to go.

I then used DG's aRoot to root once again without any issues at all. Every time I attempt to use ADB, it now connects flawlessly.
[Atrix 4G General] JoshRH:
I have this problem as well and it is driving me insane as I bit off more than I could chew just trying to root my phone... Hopefully we can figure something out in the future.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chowlz:
I'm trying to make a goldcard so I can root my phone. But I always get an error that supposedly has to do with the goldcard I attempted to make from a 8gb Sandisk class 4 microsd that AT&T gave with my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cannibul:
You're picking the wrong device when you create the gold card.

Try picking the logical partition and not the physical device.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Have you tried the one click gold card maker in the developer section, with the the phone on disk drive while putting the goldcard img on it?

edit: it also depends on which method you use, for some reason the hack kit wouldn't let me make my scan disk into a gold card but it let me make my Kingston into one. I finally got my scan disk working using a one click to place the image on the SD card.

[Xoom General] DatterBoy:
Was just thinking. If Costco has a 90 day return with no restocking fee policy. Why doesn't everyone just go grab one just for a test drive? Sure you risk loss or damage. But if you keep a tight ship you can have one and then take it back when you're satisfied, right?
[Xoom General] android_geoff:
its a good idea but alot of people dont have 900 bucks sitting around in the bank. but if you do you can buy it and just before the price goes down in 2 months resturn it and buy a new one at a cheaper price or even a different tablet all together
[Xoom General] tlogank:
Because there isn't a Costco near everyone. I think it's a regional thing. Besides, don't you have to be a member to shop one? like a Sam's Club or something...
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
Some of us don't want to abuse costco's generous return policy. They use to have unlimited return policies on electronics and a bunch of people "test drove" everything in the store and now its limited to 90 days.
[Xoom General] Lars1967:
What are you saying?

Exactly.
[Xoom General] deadpixell:
Not everyone has a Costco membership, and as for abusing the return policy, Costco tracks all your purchases and returns... ;)
[Xoom General] acedickson:
Anyone can shop at the wireless kiosk as most aren't owned by the store. I say most because some may be but the ones I worked at in Texas were owned by a separate company, all you have to do is tell the person manning the door you're going to the wireless kiosk. This goes for both Sams and Costco...
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
And you still get the 90 day return policy? or does this require the Costco card?
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Well, for those of us who knew they were getting one, but needed a way out in case Moto decided to suck, Costco was a no-brainer. Glad I'm a member, but now that I've used it, as I'd figured, it would take all of Moto, XDA, and me (I'm an Android BSP dev by profession) to suck before this great hunk of silicon ended up being a waste of money.

Y'all will have my Xoom when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. :D I've been waiting for a decent Android tablet (tried the VS G-Tablet- oh, so close ...) for months now.
[Xoom General] DatterBoy:
I am seriously considering this because I am uncertain about the xoom. I want it pretty bad but am arraid it wont meet my expectations. If I am within policy I don't think that can be called abuse. It is an honest action. But i can see how people could use it just to test drive stuff.
[Xoom General] janisiwa:
My Costso wireless kiosk manager said the Xoom has a 30 day return policy. I live in Florida, so I'm not sure if it applies to all kiosks or even anything else at the kiosk...
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
I ordered online from Motorola and they only have 14 days on tablets :(
[Xoom General] Morkai Almandragon:
costco's website states their own return policy plain as day, as well as on the receipts. 90 days.
[Xoom General] djunio:
Because Costco requires an activation. Got mines scott free from Best Buy, no questions asked.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Because of two things...

1) You would have to call verizon and cancel after leaving the store

2) I'm not going to purposefully defraud a company, abusing an already generous return policy. This is why stores have gotten worse and worse about returns, people who 'rent' products and then return them. Do you think they just stuff them back in the box and resell them??
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
If I keep something for 30+ days, I feel that I shouldn't force a store to lose money on it by returning it. They sell equipment, they don't rent it. Abusing their return policy will eventually just ruin it for people who actually need to utilize it.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
i am a costco member already but I bought mine at bby because I wanted the justin beiber buy back program. I easily spent $1000 that day with warranty and accesories, when xoom 2,comes out I wouldve done the same thing, glad to know bby will buy my xoom back at 50% and don't have to worry about selling it on eBay before xoom2 comes out.
